Your First Maiden Gig ?

[BlastBeast]

Indeed and thanks for the welcome.
I was a fan since 95 and got hooked after a friend made me a tape with FOTD, FHTE & BQOBD (along with other metal stuff).
I immediately bought TNOTB, both Live (Real dead and Real Live), Live after Death, Killers (my first CD if I remember correctly)...
Then I proceeded to buy everything they put out (I don't have the box Eddie's archives though).

The show was great, I was really amazed to see Bruce live since I got accustomed to Blaze Bayley (even though I thought he was pretty weak and VXI to be a sub-par album).
I love every minute of it.

Donington '88 was my first Maiden gig, I was a baby 14 year-old... Arrived halfway through Megadeth (so missed GnR), stood at the back and was blown away. Since then I've seen them up close, far away, had a "hello" from Davey, seen Nicko in my chippie...

Cleveland early 91. Great show! Never forget that day, my older brother bought a Sega Genesis on the way to the show as well!

And what did he do with it, once he got there?

Just locked it in the trunk of his friends car. I believe that was the last day of some sale they had on them as well.

August 3rd last year - London. But it wasn't just my first Maiden gig, it was all the gigs I never got to go to in the '80s.

 

[Black Wizard]

I was at that gig too. Back row of the top tier.

That's how I look at it....trying to make up for lost time.

I was near the top of the first tier, just right of centre - cheap seats/up-in-the-gods had already sold out, as had just about everywhere else.
